I'm assuming that if I sent a packet with the path GATE (only) and it
was IGated by the HF receiver, the raw data on APRS-IS would look
something like src>APRS,GATE,qA?,hfgate*:...?
I'm fairly certain now that I'm hitting W7CCY (pretty much the one I
expected to hit):
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?moxie,mision,w7ccy
which is getting things to the internet indirectly through mountaintop
digipeaters that eventually reach home stations with internet connectivity.
Of course if I used 100 watts instead of ~3 I would probably reach more
than one...
APRS should really have a route like 'IGATE-n' which would mean 'if you
can IGate me, I'm done, otherwise digipeat up to n more hops'.
